SHIRT.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 261,318, dated July 18, 1882.

Application filed June 5, 1882. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES G. DoBBs, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a certain new and useful Improve ment in Shirts, of which the following is a specification.

It is my object to provide a shirt with asimplc and convenient means for lengthening and shortenin g the sleeves, so as to keep the cuffs at such a distance from the wrists as desired. This I accomplish by providing each sleeve with a set of tapes, attached to the sleeve one above the other and connected by a buckle, through theinstrument-ality of which the sleeve can be drawn up or let down, as desired. The device is simple, readily applied, cheap, and entirely effective. The buckles can be detachably connected to the tapes, so as to permit their removal when the shirt is to be washed.

Theaccompanyingdrawingrepresentsashirt having sleeves provided with the devices referred to.

Upon each sleeve are two tapes, a I), attached to the sleeve by sewing or otherwise at the points a b. With the tapes is combined a 25 buckle, c, by means of which the sleeve can be drawn up or let down, as desired. The buckle shown in the drawing is a double buckle; but itcan be a single buckle, if desired; and in that event it is preferable to connect one of 0 the tapes to it by a button and button-hole attachment, which will permit the buckle to be removed whenever the shirt isto be washed.

The device answers admirably the purpose for which it is designed, and is readily applied 3 5 and cheap, adding little or nothing to the cost of the shirt.

What I claim is- A shirt the sleeves of which are provided each with a pair of tapes, a b, and a buckle, c, 40 as and for the purposes shown and specified.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 26. day of June, 1882.
